43 . When braking while ABS is activated, you should:
Brake softer than you normally would.
In a vehicle equipped with an Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), you should apply the brakes in the same manner that you would if you were driving without ABS.
44 . Cargo being transported should be checked:
Cargo should be inspected before beginning a trip, within the first 50 miles of the trip, and every three hours or 150 miles traveled thereafter. Cargo should be inspected every time the driver stops to take a break. The driver of a truck transporting cargo is responsible for the cargo being safely secured throughout the trip.
45 . If you are turning left where there are two available turning lanes:
You should use both lanes.
If making a left turn where there is more than one available turn lane, you should always choose to take the rightmost lane. Large vehicles often have to swing right to make left turns, so it is safer for you to have other left-turning traffic to your left. This will allow you to have the best possible view of other turning vehicles and will lower the risk of your vehicle colliding with them.
46 . Which of the following is a situation in which you may not need to slow down and be extra careful?
Where there is increased traffic
Situations in which you should slow down and exercise extra caution include when you are driving through work zones; on roadways where the pavement drops off sharply; near foreign objects on the road; on on- and off-ramps; and in heavy traffic.
47 . What should you do if the brake pedal does not build up pressure?
Pump the brakes.
If you lose pressure in a hydraulic brake system, one appropriate response is to shift down into a lower gear. This will help slow the vehicle.
48 . The controlled braking method is:
When the driver downshifts the gears to brake.
The method of controlled braking involves applying the brakes as hard as you can without locking the wheels. If you need to make large steering adjustments while using controlled braking, you should remove your foot from the brake pedal, steer, then reapply the brakes.
49 . How can a person check for a leak in hydraulic brakes?
Remove the rear wheel and listen for a noise when the brake pedal is depressed.
Check hydraulic brakes by pumping the brake pedal three times before applying firm pressure to the pedal for five seconds. The pedal should not move. If it does, there may be a leak or some other problem in the braking system.
50 . What should you do if your vehicle gets stuck on railroad tracks?
Walk down the tracks to look for an oncoming train.
If your vehicle gets stuck on railroad tracks for any reason, you should immediately exit the vehicle and walk away from the tracks. Contact the proper emergency authorities.
